Happy September fans, friends and family!Summer in the NW this year was amazing and I have to admit to being a little happy that fall is coming with its cloudy skies, rain filled days and long cozy nights. I'm ready to curl up with a glass of whiskey and get back to some serious creative time with my guitar and piano and bringing to life the song bits that have found their way into my brain over the last few months.I do have a couple shows coming up in the Seattle area that I hope you will save and share...
